what is a proxy setting? TL;DR—it’s a way to make your internet traffic take a detour.
Use cases:
- Privacy (sorta)
- Accessing blocked sites
- Testing websites from diff locations
Configuring it isn’t rocket science. Find a proxy server (Google "free proxy list" or use a service like Luminati), then enter the details in your network settings.
But fair warning: free proxies can be slow or leak your data. If you’re serious, invest in a good VPN or private proxy.
